Australia flavor defeats in the final of the International Criket Council (ICC) after 15 years, when South Africa won a victory of 5 goal to win the World Test Championship (WTC) on Saturday, June 14. Statistically, the most successful party across all formats in the men’s division in Australia was always considered popular. The men team gathered 10 main honors in ICC events, including six ODI World Cup titles, the trophy titles of two champions and one World Cup World Cup and World Cup title.
However, it should not be for Baggy Greens, because the Temba Bavum party built one of its best performances in the history of South African cricket to gain its first great honor in the longest format. After attacking in 14 finals at ICC tournaments in Australia, it ended only on the losing side four times, including the defeat of the WTC.
The first was the ODI World Cup in 1975, their first main finals, where they defeated 17 runs at Lord.
Their further loss came 21 years later, in the final of the 1996 World Cup, where Sri Lanka spent the dominant launch effort to defeat Australia by 7 goals and 22 balls that saved in Lahore.
14 years later, their last defeat was in the final of the ICC tournament against England in the T20 2010 World Cup, where Australia suffered a loss of 7 goals in Bridgetown in Barbados.
South Africa is the latest entry into the rare list of teams to overcome the powerful Australian side. Despite the Australian captain, Pat Cummins, who scored six goals in the first shifts, in the first shifts to join Proteas at 138, invented in the final shifts, where Aiden Mardram 136 supported the Temba Bavum 66 established a ship and led them to the first main honor since 1998.
It will also be a rare view for Cummins. Since he took over the leading role in Australia, his party had previously reached the two finals, defeating India for the WTC title for the 2021-2023 cycle, followed by the ODI World Cup 2023.
It will be a lot to think about this Australian side and it remains to find out whether they will continue to be with the current combinations, or whether this defeat will be the beginning of the new era, with new faces to be brought to the test side.
